LABOR FORCE PARTICIPANTSLabor force participants include those who are employed and unemployed (those actively looking for work during the last four weeks).
LABOR MARKET INFORMATION Labor market information includes all data (both quantitative and qualitative) and analysis related to employment and the workforce (past, current, and future projections) that can help constituents make decisions and choices about education, training, and job search.
SECTORS AND INDUSTRIESIndustries consist of businesses doing similar activities. The North American Indu-stry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used to classify business establi-shments.
OCCUPATIONS Occupations have similar job duties. Occupations (e.g. accountants) can span indu-stries or they can be found solely in just one in-dustry (e.g. nurses). The Standard Occupation Classification (SOC) System is a hierarchical framework and the standard used to classify occupations into categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data.
REAL-TIME LABOR MARKET INFORMATIONReal-time labor market information (RTLMI) describes software that scrapes online job postings daily, organizes the information into quantifiable data, and then stores this informa-tion into databases for analysis.
Not all types of jobs are equally represented online. Large employers and corporations are more likely to post jobs online. Smaller busi-nesses are more likely to post only executive positions online. Some occupation groups, such as construction and production, are un-der-represented because employers use other hiring methods such as union halls or job fairs.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTSeasonal adjustment is a statical method that takes into account seasonal patterns that can impact employment and unemployment ove-rall and in certain industries (e.g. retail em-ployment typically increases during the retail holiday season and falls thereafer).
